    My Turbo 08 got hit...

    Hey guys, thanks for the replies. It's been claimed totalled and it'll be picked up some time next week. I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Now I gotta move fast to get all the goodies out. I start yanking out the parts tomorrow with a friend and hopefully don't...

    How Do You Like Your Terminator? Pics?

    As some of you may know, my car got crunched last week http://forums.stangnet.com/768664-my-turbo-08-got-hit.html Now that I'm window shopping for a new car, the 03-04 Cobras seem to be the way to go when it comes to bang for the buck. I mean the way these cars make power with so little...

    My Turbo 08 got hit...

    Yeah, it was only about 3 months ago when the turbo went on. If you look closely at the 1st pic you can see scratches on the lowest part of the bumper. My theory is that the re-enforcement bar deflected the car's impact in an upward motion. I think ford does that intentionally so that the...

    My Turbo 08 got hit...

    Thanks, I agree about being 100% focused. If you're in an object that weighs 3000lbs + and can move faster than you can run... PAY ATTENTION. It's literally a weapon. The body shop is good and it's right next door to my in-law's weld shop. My buddy will do the swap but I still gotta...

    My Turbo 08 got hit...

    You're right. I'm gonna wait for the 2010 in spring. Thanks, it's my pops. I never drove it or intend to. It's just slow and not my style. You're right. It's what they taught us in judo as well. My instructor would use the same example you just used, about durnk drivers, to explain the...

    My Turbo 08 got hit...

    ... and now I can't sit. This just happened 2 hours ago as it still rains outside. I was dead stopped at a red light with a van about 10 ft in front of me. I look in the rear view and see a Ford FOCKUS movin in on me pretty fast. When I noticed the car it was still doing about 35 mph @ 7...

    08 GT transmission noise

    No one here can really tell you if your noise is normal or not. Go to the dealer that you bought the car from and tell them you want to test drive an 08 and see if there's a diffirence. Either your trans is making a considerable amount of noise or you're just a bit anal. I'm getting the...

    PH turbo install on my 08 *lots of pics*

    Not yet, but I've already pulled on an 07 Shelby and an LS2 Vette. I'd say it's trappin about 116. I'm going to the track in October so we'll see.

    PH turbo install on my 08 *lots of pics*

    My A/R is at 11:5 at WOT. It always falls below 12:1 when it goes into boost. Hope this helps.

    PH turbo install on my 08 *lots of pics*

    No, stock height. It will clear everything like stock. Even when it's lowered. This is actually an issue I was concerned with and looked more into it before deciding what turbo to go with. Hellion has that issue. A member from another forum emailed me pics of underneath his car while on the...

    Where to buy VVME HIDs by phone?

    I've searched the net up and down for VVME HIDs. Can't find a damn thing. Either the domestic vendor doesn't have it in stock and have to order it from China or I order it directly from China. Frankly I don't feel like waiting a few weeks with a $30 shipping & handling. Not to mention that some...

    Yes, BAP and injectors are the only thing for fuel. A/F is 11.5-11.8.

    Boost control with a tune is eaven cheaper and safer than Zex. Are you using a Zex kit with your set up?

    PH turbo install on my 08 *lots of pics*

    Thanks but sorry no vids. It's nice to be back. What kind of boost are you pushin? It's sleeper for now due to priorities. The intercooler was painted because of a blemish it had. I just wanted to get the power out of the way. Then I'll build around it with a lateral suspension, brakes and...
